GNOME Power Manager - 0.0.3

GNOME System Tools
GNOME System Tools

GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of the Project Utopia stack. GNOME Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions.

Today I released a GNOME Power Manager 0.0.3 with lots of bugfixes, new features, a new preferences program and lots more. This new version supports wireless mice and keyboards, pda's and the usual laptop batteries...

The website has been greatly updated and contains lots of new screenshots.

There is a source tarball and Fedora RPM's available here.

Please send comments/patches/questions to the mailing list at gnome-power-devel@lists.sourceforge.net - archives are available here.

Not for Real People.

I appreciate the work that went into the article and it is very interesting, but the tutorial for geting it to work starts with:

"Download the kernel patch"...

It's clear that this is not what real people (not us geeks) need.

Real people like their Windows XP or OSX machine that suspend when you close the lid. They cvertainly don't want to download a kernel patch.

I'm much more interested in a dialog box with an option to "suspend on lid close".

Though of course my distro should have that set up for me by default upon install.
